Liù Dà Jiāng Yukdaejang - Gardena

The worst customer service ever!!!! I try to get in contact with the manager so I can complain about the food, but he is never there.

OMG this place is so good!!! I was craving bosam and decided to try this place out. The bosam is flavorful and moist. The sides are so good to wrap the bosam with. The spicy cold noodles were bomb. I've never seen this dish served with shredded meat (it's unusually sliced), it was a welcomed surprise. The only thing I didn't care for was that the lettuce cut into such small pieces which made it more difficult to eat but I'm sure if I asked they would have given larger pieces. I'll definitely be back soon.

My first time trying this restaurant in Gardena. It's located in a strip mall on the east side of Western Avenue, just north of Redondo Beach Blvd. Our party of 7 arrived on a weeknight to celebrate a birthday. While the restaurant is small, we sat at a table which was very comfortable for all of us. I didn't order the entrees which we all shared, but I must say that everything was delicious and beautifully presented. We had a beef short rib hot pot with squash, potatoes, and some other veggies simmered in a broth. I think that was my favorite dish. We also had a pork belly entree with accompanying dipping sauces and nappa cabbage for wrapping, and another ramen soup hot pot. The steamed mandu was delicious too. Our total bill was about $200, before tax and tip. Our waitress gave herself a 20% tip, so total was $262.

Their food is Subpar at best. We ordered yukgaejang and sulungtang which were both $17+ tax each. The portion sizes were small and contained very little meat. If you want sulungtang, avoid this place because it's loaded with green onions and has very little beef flavor (or meat); hanbat sulungtang is your best option for good sulungtang soup. Although this place's specialty is yukgaejang, their broth and lack of veggies/meat makes their yukgaejang a waste of money, they didn't even put in the yukgaejang. I don't recommend this place at all.

Here is my honest review for the second time being at this establishment. On Monday April 25th, decided to try out this establishment due to the fact that the next door sushi restaurant was unfortunately closed for the day. My first time here, I ordered a spicy seafood ramen recommended by my waitress. Service was quick fast and easy. Once my order arrived, I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious my meal was. Broth was extremely flavorful, the spice was quite delicious not overpowering and the seafood/ramen portion was just perfect. The 2 girls attending the restaurant were always attentive making sure I had everything I needed and my glass of water was always full. I couldn't have left more full and extremely happy that day was a definite 5/5 experience. I loved it so much I decided to come again today (Wednesday May 27th). I sat right away, and a different woman and gentlemen were at the register attending the guests at the restaurant. I sat quickly and a woman approached me and asked if I was ready to order (which I was). I quickly explained to her that I had the most delicious seafood ramen the last time I had came to the restaurant. But this time I wanted the spicy ramen minus the seafood or any meat. I just wanted the spicy ramen with whatever veggies it came with and mushrooms. I informed her that I was not vegetarian or vegan as the broth was made from meat. She suggested some items and that maybe it would be possible to do but she had to double check. She asked the gentlemen at the register and they spoke in their own language. 15 minutes later my spicy mushroom ramen arrived at the table. I quickly finished my delicious meal. Upon receiving my check, I was charged for an item I never received (the meat) and had an added up charge for an item that I had requested but not notified of the up-charges until my check was brought to my table. Working for the restaurant business for over 13 years I find this extremely unpleasantly unprofessional. Communication is key in a business establishment. Instead of the employees communicating with each other in their own language (disrespectful), a better approach would have been notifying the guest of the up charge and inability of substituting an item. Although the lack of communication and disrespect is unfortunate. The food is extremely delicious.
